" " DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} " " EEC. 7CA & 1EX X31 to AJS ORIGINAL X.3440 EA/G21/8/19. 2 RE: SEMI-FLEXIBLE ATTACHMENT OF SCUTTLE TO DASHBOARD. Would you kindly note that Mr. Royce would like you to take measures to ensure that the semi-flexible attachment of scuttle to dashboard shall be used on all R.R. chassis with any type of body. This is consequent upon differences noticed between the running of chassis 1 EX. which is fitted with the semi-flexible attachment and chassis 7 CA. which has a rigid dash and scuttle.
